10 Most Visited Countries in the World

3. Mexico

Number of visitors in 2021 (in millions): 31.9

Surprisingly, Mexico ranks higher in our list of the most visited countries than its North American counterparts in Canada and the United States. Mexico is famed for its delicious cuisine, sandy beaches and sunny weather. Resorts in Mexico are generally affordable and provide a luxurious experience that you would be hard-pressed to find in the U.S. in the same amount of money. One of the issues Mexico faces is incredibly high crime rates driven by its many drug cartels which discourages many international visitors from considering this trip.
